Rachel C.

Really cute small tap room with tons of amazing choices and reasonable pricing. Love the small inviting atmosphere and handwritten menu. Also LOVE that there is a cool old school gaming system so our kiddo enjoys coming with us too. Service has been excellent every time. Love to have a new place close by like this!

Stopped in after work. Alex was very friendly and had great suggestions on beer. Customer service was top notch .

This place has a ton of games and it would be an amazing date night! They have a ton of beer and wine choices. I had the sangria and it was super refreshing and my wife had the pomegranate mule. There is a lot of room at the bar and little bar stools all around. The bartender was quick to check in. I just wish he was a little more friendly. This was our first time coming so it would've been nice to have some conversation and a little more information on the beers and drinks other than reading a board. This is a very calm space from what we experienced. It seems like it is a local sport; not to many people. I think the time we stayed there was about 5 people in addition to us. It looks like they have a happy hour from 1-7 everyday. The only other thing I wish they had was dine in foods. It does look like they offer snack foods. It looks like they offer a grilled cheese, popcorn; and a meat & cheese board. They also allow you to bring your own food in if you want which is super nice!

Great local joint with a sizable menu of rotating beers on tap. One of our favorite spots to try new drekker beers / fruited sours / local brews

Stopped in here thinking it was a restaurant since I was shopping in the area but it's more like a pub-type environment. Upon entry, I immediately felt out of place as the staff and everyone inside(only a few people were inside) looked at me as if I didn't belong in there. Talk about an awkward moment so instead of seating myself to explore and possibly stick around, I just started snapping a few photos and left. I was so out of place and was such in shock at not being greeted by the lady who worked there that my nervous awkward moment kicked in. Nope, I'll never return and nope I don't recommend it unless you've visited before and fit in. I'm not 100%sure that they are used to diversity, to be honest ...seriously you wouldn't know what I meant unless you've experienced some type of uncomfortable " you don't belong here" moment! Js ‍ It's a no for me but don't take my word for it... go check it out for yourself! ‍ ‍‍ I'm still not sure if they serve food or other drinks besides beer ... On a positive note, it's a cute set up inside

Our favorite new bar. It's close to home, the service is great, the beer selection even GREATER! We have been here on quiet days, and we have been here during a ROCK PAPER SCISSORS competition! Good vibes, always!

Excellent service and a cute setting. Played some Friends Trivia while eating and drinking.

When's the last time your bartender shook your hand? The few and rare times have been at the Whining Pig. This place stands out to me because of it's very unique charm and massive menu of refreshments. You walk in and it's pretty much a room with a bar. Around the circumference is additional seating and space for your beverage and snacks. Look to your right, the wall is a chalkboard completely overwhelmed by beer and wine selections. It's a sight to be admired. It took me a couple visits to learn it and realize the variety and options readily available. Sometimes I order beer. When I do, I like to ask the bartenders and they always have a recommendation based on my tastes. They have over 100 craft beer selections, so it's worth going back to really fine tune your favorites. There's even a brown bag special - a mystery canned beer for cheap. Sometimes I order wine. When I do, I opt to create my own flight. I've carried a pretty good buzz off of several shades of red. Pare it with a meat and cheese plate and you've got yourself a date. Speaking of dates, you ought to bring a friend to this establishment. Taking turns picking drinks is half the fun. Then, bust open one of the board games. They're all over the place. So, much like this bar, you'll find something you like. I'm sure of it!

Ask the Community - The Whining Pig - Gilbert

Can you watch NFL games here?

We have multiple TVs and can showcase all public games but don’t have the NFL ticket. Thanks for asking!

Can you bring your own food? Do they have a food menu?

They have 4 types of flatbreads and a meat/cheese board. I feel like they'd be cool with outside food, but I've never specifically asked. Really cool vibe in all of their locations, though!

Is there a live music?

Sometimes there is - we had a guitarist playing the night we were there.

What's some of the HH pricing? Reasonable?

Happy Hour runs 7 days/wk, 1-8pm! It's $2 regular prices, so a good deal.. and runs later than most HH's. Good for weekend day drinking!

Do they have trivia night?

I don't think so but they do have trivia cards on the bar and a couple board games to play.

I'm def a wine enthusiast & enjoyed many wineries while living in CA so I am excited to explore the AZ scene. Staff was helpful in choosing some wines and answering any questions on the wine. We were helped by the lovely Danielle & Sarah which were super personable our whole visit. We started with a board and a bottle The board was so yummy & perfect for 2 for sharing, the cheeses on this board went well together and I think my favorite item on the board were the pickles they were unlike any other pickles I've ever tasted before really tickled my tastebuds. I was able to sample the rose & the Pinot noir & ended up ordering a glass of that as well. It was the last night for live music & im glad we were able to experience it because it will not be back till September due to the weather! They have indoor & outdoor seating, we started inside & ended outside. I will def be back to try their other wines! Thanks for such a fun time.

We ordered at the counter, and the food was later brought to us. I got the Brioche Breakfast Sammy (scrambled egg, spicy ham, arugula, tomato, + herbed cheese on a house-made brioche bun). It was smaller than I expected, but the taste was great and the portion size turned out to be just right for me. My sandwich also came with a side of two fresh strawberries. I didn't know it would, so that was a surprise. I also ordered the pineapple matcha, which was refreshing and a great drink for summer. My friend got the Egg Sammy (scrambled egg and cheese) with Noble sourdough. It looked really good, and she gobbled it right up. Overall it was a good meal, and I would definitely be back. I want to try their breakfast wine next time.

SOCIETY! What a beautiful little hidden gem in Tempe! And WOW, what a wonderful experience!…read more First, a little tip on finding this place. Society is located on the second floor of the plaza, and you might actually walk right past the entrance! If the line for Tempe Improv gets long, it can partially block the double doors. Just look carefully, and you'll find your way in! Once you walk inside, it's like stepping into a completely different world! The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous! Romantic, trendy, a little glamorous, and definitely POPPIN'! Between the beautiful chandeliers, cascading flowers, colorful lighting, and stylish décor, I couldn't stop looking around. Whoever designed this place did a fantastic job! We had reservations, and I would HIGHLY recommend making them. This place can fill up quickly, and I can certainly understand why! Now, let's talk about the FOOD! Several people had recommended that we try the Whipped Feta appetizer, so of course we had to order it. OH MY GOODNESS! This was hands down one of the most delicious appetizers I've had in a LONG time! The whipped feta was creamy, with this wonderful honey combination in the middle that brought everything together beautifully. Paired with the bread, it was absolutely fantastic! I'm not kidding when I say I could've ordered that appetizer and made an entire meal out of it! LOL! If you visit Society, PLEASE try the whipped feta! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, which came with their spinach-infused pasta. And WOW, that was delicious too! The pasta was wonderful, the sauce was flavorful, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Definitely not your ordinary Alfredo! My friend ordered the Penne alla Vodka, which looked delicious, although I didn't get a chance to sample it. Guess that gives me another reason to return! And can we talk about the SERVICE?! Absolutely wonderful! Our server was attentive, friendly, and always checking on us to make sure everything was taken care of. We never felt forgotten, and everything flowed so nicely throughout our dinner. Then came a little surprise! They found out we were celebrating my birthday and brought out a birthday dessert! How sweet was that?! I certainly wasn't expecting it, and it made an already wonderful evening even more special. Between the amazing atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent customer service, Society really impressed me. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! HANDS DOWN! This is a wonderful place for a date night, birthday celebration, or just an evening out with friends. It's beautiful, lively, and has the food and service to back it up. And you better believe I'm ordering that whipped feta again! In fact, I might not even share it next time! LOL! Thank you, Society, for such a memorable birthday dining experience!

Definitely a place I enjoy coming back to! The bathroom photo op area is beyond beautiful!

Their tomato soup is also really really good! So Creamy and strong notes of tomato while also tasting creamy and peppery. I highly recommend
